“I’m not leaving. I paid too much for the seat,” says man during Penguins playoff game arrest

Police said they had to use a Taser twice on a suspect who allegedly attacked an officer during an arrest inside PPG Paints Arena on Monday night.

Jason Miller, 29, is charged with aggravated assault, strangulation, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct following the incident during Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Pittsburgh Penguins and Ottawa Senators.

Security workers at the arena had asked for help dealing with an unruly patron who was using profanities.

Ralph Baker, who was sitting in front of Miller at the game, told Pittsburgh's Action News 4 the trouble started before the puck even dropped, during the Canadian national anthem.

"While they were singing it, he goes, 'F Canada!' really loud. And everybody's turning to look at him," Baker said.

"Every five minutes he would blurt out vulgarity, constantly, like it was the only language he knew," Baker said. "He was throwing beer, throwing food. I got beer on me."

According to a criminal complaint, when an officer approached Miller he allegedly said “I’m not leaving. I paid too much for the seat.”

Police said Miller continued to refuse to leave and, when an officer pulled a Taser out, Miller began to mock him and asked his girlfriend to start recording video.

The officer then grabbed Miller by the jersey and escorted him to the concourse but they say he continued to resist and tried to break free.

Police were finally able to get Miller to an elevator and began to try to get him handcuffed and that’s when he allegedly attacked one of the officers, pinning her to the corner of the elevator and choking her.

A Taser was then used twice on Miller and he was handcuffed.

Baker said that from what he saw, the officers had no choice but to use force on Miller.

"He fought them all the way. They couldn't get him out of his chair. So they just did what they had to do," Baker said.

The officer who was attacked suffered a knee injury during the struggle.
